…
After finishing the communication with Hill, Qin Lun thought for a while, then covered his right eye with his palm, the exposed left eye lighted up slightly, and a yin-yang fish pattern intertwined with blue ice flames and dark green ancient vines emerged.
This eye is a fusion mutation of the biological equipment "Gannitus Left Eye" and the hunter's professional skill "Detection Aura", forming a pupil skill called "Gaze Aura".
After turning on the staring halo, the field of vision of Qin Lun's left eye completely became a three-dimensional projection composed of black and white lines, and the perception beams rushed in all directions like waves. The thick stone wall of the sewer seemed nothing to him, only some sketch lines remained.
The snakes, insects, rats and ants in the depths of the sewer stopped vigilantly, as if listening to something. The next moment, these little creatures frantically fled towards the distance as if they had been whipped.
Qin Lun smiled slightly. When he entered the world, he didn't choose to hide the divine realm on his body. In addition, he just released a little devilish aura. It's no wonder these sensitive little animals didn't escape.
"It's so big down here, and there are so many branch roads!" Qin Lun finally frowned again after observing the fleeing directions of the snakes, rats and ants.
He drove these small animals away just now, of course he wasn't full to support himself. These small animals are the permanent residents here. When they encounter danger, they will instinctively flee to the nest or a way out, thus avoiding blind groping.
It's just that these little creatures didn't give a specific direction until they escaped from Qin Lun's perception range. If the exploration range of gazing at the aura is diluted by the perceived concentration, it can reach hundreds of meters. These small creatures are running around, indicating that the network of tunnels here is extremely large, and it may really be the sewer system of the entire Baldur's Gate.
"This is really troublesome!" Qin Lun rubbed his temples helplessly. Generally, the sewer system has a well connected to the ground, but he doesn't know the direction. If he is unlucky, it may take a few days to find it. The three of them Time spent in the world of Toril is precious.
"Forget it, let's use that thing to explore the way, what a waste!" Qin Lun sighed, raised his hand slightly, and a black light flashed in front of him. A hideous stone statue more than one meter high with bat wings appeared out of thin air and slammed heavily on the aisle on the right side of the sewer.
"Wake up!" Qin Lun thought, and the gargoyle's eyes made of obsidian spar lit up with two purple lights. He raised his head silently and stared at the young man in front of him.
This gargoyle was not produced in the mission world, but the work of an apostle who also practiced alchemy. This thing is not a one-time consumable, but every time it is used, it needs to consume magic crystals. At the same time, the components need to be replaced frequently, which is easier to damage than the original product in the mission world.
However, compared to the gargoyles obtained in the mission world, this replica made by the apostles also has its own advantages. The gargoyle of the quest world is pure alchemy, and it needs a control center for the activation of the spell. The apostle's item doesn't need to be so troublesome, it is connected with the apostle's mind, and it is easier to operate.
The gargoyle received Qin Lun's consciousness, shook its bat wings, kicked its two strong hind legs, leaped into the air, spread its wings, and glided towards the depths of the sewer.
The gargoyle is a medium-sized statue-like alchemy object. Standing upright, it is only a little shorter than Qin Lun, and its wings are about two meters wide. Fortunately, the sewers at Baldur's Gate are very wide, and the gargoyles are quick to move, otherwise, I'm afraid they really couldn't be used here.
"Wait for news about those two people!" Qin Lun sat cross-legged on the aisle of the sewer after releasing the gargoyle, his consciousness was connected to the gargoyle's vision, and he explored the nearby fork.
There is another gargoyle in his storage space, but connecting to the gargoyle with consciousness also needs to consume energy points, and he doesn't know if there will be danger here, so of course he can't let himself consume too much.
After a while, Qin Lun's patience gradually wore off. The underground here is too big. The gargoyle has explored more than a dozen forks nearby, but they have never been able to find a well connected to the ground.
On the contrary, there is an extra message in the soul seal of the apostle, indicating that he has obtained a map of the underground waterway of Baldur's Gate. Of course, this map is limited to the part he has already explored, and the other directions are all dark.
Looking at the proven part in the middle of the map, compared with the undiscovered part, it was only the size of a fingernail, and Qin Lun couldn't help feeling cold.
"Qin Lun, we have obtained some information about your environment!" Fortunately, good news finally came from Hill.
It turns out that the place where he is is indeed the sewer network of Baldur's Gate. There is a reason why the sewers here are so wide.
Before the rise of Baldur's Gate, it belonged to the foothold of the legendary pirate Baldurn. At that time, many pirates and bankrupt farmers gathered here, and because of the stolen goods and consumption brought by pirates, it attracted a large number of merchants, resulting in deformed prosperity, and finally turned into a port city led by a parliament.
However, because of the selfishness of the merchant council, the pirates did not include the dock area when building the outer wall, and thus suffered heavy losses in the orc attack. All this changed after Baldur'an returned. The legendary pirate almost killed the entire city council and built a bridge gate between the dock area and the inner city. This is the origin of Baldur's Gate.
In addition to Baldur's Gate, other pirates considered that Baldur'an often went to sea and could not always give them shelter, so the pirates jointly funded the construction of a huge sewer system underground in the city.
This sewer system not only has the function of sewage discharge, but during the war, part of its network of tunnels in the dock area was also a hidden outlet to the sea. When foreign enemies invaded, the pirates would store water in these tunnels to temporarily hide the pirate ships.
The corridor Qin Lun was in at this time was actually not the widest place, and the sewer outlet where the pirate ship was hidden was almost several times larger than this place.
"It's really good news, but have you found out how it got out? You can't let me swim into the sea along the estuary!" Qin Lun had a vague premonition.
"This... According to the information we have heard, the era of Baldur'an is too far away from today. During the development of Baldur's Gate, not only pirates, but also all kinds of religions in the city have taken the underground network as a shelter. This The sewer network was expanded several times later."
Hill said with a wry smile, "Rand also heard that even slave traders and smuggling gangs sometimes use it as a lair, and in order to prevent the search of the city guards, they have set up many fake wells and secret doors. , no one can understand the entire sewer network, your place is simply an underground world completely different from the city's surface."
"Qin Lun, instead of finding the mouth of the well connected to the ground, it is better to swim directly into the sea from the mouth of the sea, that seems more reliable!" Hill added quietly in the team channel.
"No way!" Qin Lun covered his face depressedly.
"Hehe, okay, Hill, stop teasing him." Rand couldn't help laughing, "Qin Lun, we've already figured out a way for you to get out of there."
"What way?" Qin Lun showed a smile. He couldn't tell the direction underground, but the two people on the ground would not be confused, so there should be a way to help him, otherwise he wasn't alone. waste time.
"Entering this world as a team, we shouldn't be too far away from each other. However, I can't sense your presence yet. Next, Rand and I will try every direction until I get in touch with you telepathically." You." Hill replied with a smile.
Hill had already used the brain of the spirit sucker before entering this world, and he had been promoted to a second-order chaos priest at this time. Originally, Qin Lun planned to let you be promoted after entering Toril, so as to reduce the difficulty of the task.
However, Hill said that since the mission world has been confirmed and they are going for the epic plot, it seems that there is no difference between being promoted earlier and later. What's more, anything can happen in the mission world, it's not safer to be promoted directly in the starry sky.
After Hill absorbed the brain of the illithid, except for the divinity domain with the lowest probability, he got all the other talents, including the mind blast skill with only a 30% chance.
After getting Mind Blast, Hill also got a piece of information that no one knew beforehand.
It turns out that the 30% chance of mind blast fluctuates. If the apostle has high enough perception and mental attributes before absorbing the brain of the illithid, and has some spiritual skill specialties, then the chance of getting mind blast will be in the 30% increase on the basis of.
Since Hill has changed his job to a priest class, he has several spiritual skill specialties, and finally has a 45% chance of obtaining Mind Blast. He is very lucky to obtain this skill.
The method that Hill came up with now was actually considered by Qin Lun, but he planned to forcefully use the halo to find the two people on the ground. Of course, compared to the telepathy of the passive skill, if he continues to use the staring aura, the consumption will not be so large.
"If you want to use this method, there is one last problem." Qin Lun said after thinking, "Even if you use telepathy to find my location, then we are one on the ground and one underground, and we will not be able to meet for the time being."
"That's right, so we still need someone's help!" Hill showed a weird smile.
